OSHA plans to launch the Injury Tracking Application (ITA) August 1st

 

OSHA 300A

Yes, the time has come.  Under the new OSHA recordkeeping rules, employers must submit the information from their completed 2016 Form 300A (Summary of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses) to OSHA electronically by December 1, 2017.  

Establishments with 250 or more employees that are currently required to keep OSHA injury and illness records, and establishments with 20-249 employees that are classified in certain industries with historically high rates of occupational injuries and illnesses.  Most breweries are considered manufacturing with the NAICS code 312120 and therefore would be required to report if they have 20 employees or greater.  Please check the NAICS code for your establishment with the OSHA chart to see if your facility is required to report.

The Injury Tracking Application should be available using this link August 1st.  OSHA states establishments of 20-249 employees should take no longer than 20 minutes to complete the electronic form.
